hi there!

well...finally i come to post this detail

this was the object for two days in a row, a 456gt from 1994 with a good 55tkm on the clock. the bonnet got a respray. color is called "pozzi blue" which is singlestage. some parts got pretty deep scratches which couldnt be removed completely but given the amount of time i had for this car i'd say i achieved som 98% correction.

rather than doin it the "old style" with uploading gazillion pictures i decided to put this detail on video (about 10 minutes long) and put it up on my .mac account

in total the video is something above 100mb so it might have to load once entirely before you can view without any interruptions

used stuff in this detail were:

wash:

dodo born to be mild (i love this stuff!!)
mixture of ssf and z7
2bm
zymöl sponge

polish:

nearly everything i had, from 3m to menzerna. in the end i stick to fc+ here and there, menz ip and both final finish polishes
due to the fact there was no clearcoat on the paint i nearly ruined my entire pad stock

lsp:

cf followed by
sv crystal rock applied with a pad

after applying the wax - which is as easy as applying butter, its just so soft. like destiny, vintage or supernatural - i led the car stand outside in the bare sun for about 3 hours, also this is recommended by swissvax. after that i gave the car a final buff. i must say that i havent seen anything as such before - the finish really gained even more clarity and wetness within/after these 3 hours (in the movie its called: "nach weiteren 3 stunden) which can also be seen in the video i think!

cheers
